Couples that are able to project themselves are a photographer's dream ;). Angela & Elliott are a couple who are able to do that so beautifully. You will immediately get a feel for Angela's passion for life and Elliott's tender and kindhearted spirit. These two are "life-lovers," who embrace the people around them with vulnerability and compassion. I love that about them. They are the kind of people who invite people in.... the kind of people who let their guard down and risk bearing their heart and souls to those in their lives because they know that the rewards are worth it ten-fold. 

I really admire Angela & Elliott. They are truly fantastic parents of their little baby girl, Alexis (the darling little one with the white dress in the photos). It was so obvious why Angela is such a great mom when we saw her relationship with her parents. Her dad danced her down the isle with tears streaming down both of their faces.... it was truly beautiful. 

These two got married in Lake Chelan, WA and had a backyard wedding on Elliott's parent's vineyard/house. The views were breathtaking! It was our first time to Lake Chelan and now I want to go back every summer. But next time, on our way home, I'd rather not total our car haha.... We were in a three car pile up and little Bessy (our white civic) died that day. It made for an "interesting" adventure. We're now on the car hunt... I think we have decided on a 3rd Generation Toyota Prius... they are pretty RAD. 
Okay... enough about me... onto the goodness that is Angela and Elliott...

Like I already told you--it's obvious that you shot this wedding from your heart. I love it.

Sarah & Chris,

Wow...these photos have left me speechless. Thanks so much for capturing the true feel of our wedding day. When on the hunt for the perfect photographer to shoot our wedding, If asked, I would have said that I wanted someone who would make it so we could go back to that time and place 10, 20, 30 years out. You did just that! Looking at these images allowed me to relive the day all over again.

I appreciate the two of you in more ways than one, your zest for love, life and your work is very evident and magnetic to those who are in your presence. I look forward to following your work over the years and having you capture more of our family memories.

Much love,
Elliott, Angela & Alexis Wood

i am just totally, completely blown away.

I love the photo of the actual ceremony taken from up high. The exposure is perfect. It seems like it would be hard to get the shadows and highlights that even though. I've noticed how well balanced a lot of your photos are even in direct sunlight... you don't process any of those in HDR format do you?

I've been looking at your work for well over a month. Your blog layout first intrigued me...but the overall quality of your work is literally stunning! I shoot as well but not professionally.

I just wanted to pass along my thoughts.

Keep up the amazing work!

as beautiful as all those WEDDING photos are, and they are, I am just left dreaming about spending a weekend there on the lake and by that pool. I need me some beach time right about now!
